WHY DCOS SHOP DESK

Built from the shop floor.

I’m Blake. I built DCOS Professional Services around the problems I see every day in manufacturing: incomplete RFQs, missing dimensions, rushed travelers, and jobs reaching the floor before they’re truly ready.

My background includes CNC machining, fabrication, reverse engineering, estimating, and production planning. Every job package is prepared with the people quoting, planning, and making the work in mind—so the floor gets clear information and fewer surprises.

  • CNC Machining
  • Fabrication
  • Reverse Engineering
  • Job Planning

“The goal is simple: better information before the work reaches the floor.”

Blake · Founder, DCOS
